Let a data directory carry the inventory which describes it - #897
Merged
Conversation
A directory may keep its inventory under the name `.inventory` -- the authoring directory or a serialized file -- and a spool opened on one starts out attached to it, so the metadata is found where it lies rather than named again by every script which reads the archive. Hidden for the same reason `.dascore_index.sqlite3` is, and skipped by the file scanner for free. The visible `inventory.yaml` is deliberately not it: in the authoring format that name is the envelope, so a data directory holding one would be claiming to be an inventory directory itself. This is defensible only because attaching is inert. It changes which names resolve and nothing else, so auto-attach never implies auto-conform: `conform_to_inventory` changes `len`, subdivides rows, and can raise on an acquisition straddle, and a directory which silently changed its own length because a file appeared in it would not be. Three moments are kept apart. Discovery is eager and is one existence check, which is also what makes `remove_inventory` stick, since nothing fills the slot again. Reading is lazy, at the first question only an inventory can answer -- never `len`, `get_contents`, `sort`, `chunk`, extraction, or a selection about names the index already knows. Whether a query is one of those is decided without reading anything: the observing-system facts are the models' own, the same for every inventory, and a coordinate an inventory runs along the fiber is by definition a name the index does not have. Refreshing is explicit -- `attach_inventory()` with no argument means the one this directory carries, read now -- because an inventory is an input rather than a cache, and a file which changes under a running program is a new input rather than a stale one. The read is held on a holder shared by every derived spool, since spools copy-construct from their parents, so a spool sliced ten ways reads its inventory once and two views of one parent cannot disagree about what it says. `attach_inventory`, `enrich` and `conform_to_inventory` also take a path now, read on the same terms. Two properties fall out, and are the point: a malformed inventory can never stop you loading data, since discovery only asks whether something is there; and when an inventory-backed call does fail, it says which file it means and that the spool picked it up on opening, because an InvalidInventoryError surfacing from inside `select` is otherwise baffling.
Comparing two attachments must not read either of them. It did, and three of the consequences were the review's strongest finding: `==` could raise a parser error out of an unreadable file, so a spool could not be put in a list or rendered by pytest; `+` parsed and validated both operands' inventories to decide whether they agreed, so a union could fail on a metadata file before any data was touched; and the answer depended on whether something had happened to read one first, which is the thing spool equality documents itself as not doing. An attachment is now compared as the thing it is -- a place, or a value. The same place equals the same place, an equal inventory equals an equal inventory, and a place is no value until someone asks. The cost, taken deliberately: combining two archives which each carry their own inventory raises, since the union has two and neither describes the whole, and the message now says how to mean one of them. A document which does not parse is an invalid inventory. `.inventory` files are read the way the format reads its own object files, so the suffix picks the parser -- a JSON inventory loads where PyYAML is not installed, which the blessed name accepted and could not honour -- and a parse failure, an undecodable byte, or a field which is not named arrives as an InvalidInventoryError rather than as whatever the parser happened to raise. Three legs found that gap independently; every "malformed" fixture in the first pass used YAML which parsed. Also: a path is anchored when it is attached, since the read comes later and possibly from another directory or another process; the read is locked, because threads mapping over one spool all reach it at once and reading a large authoring directory once per worker is the cost the holder exists to avoid; and one spelling of what an inventory could state, rather than the gate deciding to read on one rule and the reader then reading under another. Ten mutations the tests used to survive now fail them, including the provenance wrapper deleted entirely, the blessed flag ignored when two attachments are compared, `OSError` dropped from the read, and `skip_hidden` turned off -- which the scanner test could not see, because the file it planted was no format the scanner would have indexed either way. Declined: comparing two references by resolving them when their paths differ, which is where this started; and sharing the seven-line `write_inventory` test helper across two test trees, which would couple them to import it.
The verification pass found the fix half-applied: routing serialized
documents through the authoring format's own reader covered the three
suffixes that format knows, and `attach_inventory` takes a path of any
name. So `attach_inventory("inventory.txt")` still let a parser error,
an undecodable byte, or a field which is not named escape as whatever
the parser raised, with nothing saying which file the spool meant.
The rule belongs where every route already passes: `from_yaml` wraps its
own read and parse, and the mapping a document parsed to is checked in
one place both routes call. A caller who asked for an inventory should
not have to know which parser was reaching for the file.

The free-threaded and WebAssembly jobs run without PyYAML, which dascore supports: the rest of this module builds its inventories in memory and never noticed. These put one on disk. Verified by hiding PyYAML in the local environment rather than by reading the workflow: 9759 passed, 238 skipped, nothing failed.
JSON is legal YAML, so a fallback to the YAML route would have parsed the fixture and passed a test which only watched the loader's own import. Both bindings now refuse, which the suffix routing has to not need: disabling that routing fails this test, where before it did not. Found by CodeRabbit on the PR.

Description
The last piece of the inventory workflow: a directory of data may keep the inventory describing it under the name
.inventory, and a spool opened on one starts out attached to it. The metadata is then found where it lies rather than named again by every script which reads the archive.Either form works — the authoring directory
.inventory/or a serialized.inventory.yaml(.yml/.jsontoo) — and both at once is two spellings of one fact and refused. The name is hidden for the same reason.dascore_index.sqlite3is: it is a companion the directory keeps rather than content it holds, so the file scanner already skips it and the indexer needed no change. The visibleinventory.yamlis deliberately not it — in the authoring format that name is the envelope, so a data directory holding one would be claiming to be an inventory directory itself.Auto-attach is defensible only because attaching is inert
It changes which names resolve and nothing else: no patch gains a field, no row moves,
lendoes not budge. So auto-attach never implies auto-conform —conform_to_inventorychangeslen(spool), subdivides rows, and can raise on an acquisition straddle, and a directory which silently changed its own length because a file appeared in it would be indefensible.Three moments, deliberately separated
Discovery is eager, at the moment the spool is opened, and is one existence check — which is also what makes
remove_inventory()stick, since nothing fills the slot again. Reading is lazy, at the first question only an inventory can answer: neverlen,get_contents,sort,chunk, extracting a patch, or a selection about names the index already knows. Refreshing is explicit —attach_inventory()with no argument means "the one this directory carries, read now", which is the whole authoring loop:Whether a query is one an inventory could answer is decided without reading one: the observing-system facts are the models' own, the same for every inventory, and a name the index already carries keeps the index's meaning even where an inventory could also place it on the fiber. An inventory is an input rather than a cache, so it is read once and held, with no modification-time check — a file which changes under a running program is a new input, not a stale one, and checking would mean stat-ing a tree per extracted patch. The read is held on a holder shared by every derived spool, since spools copy-construct from their parents, so a spool sliced ten ways reads its inventory once.
attach_inventory,enrichandconform_to_inventoryall take a path now, read on the same terms.Comparing two attachments never reads either
This is the review's doing, and it replaced what the plan called for. An attachment is compared as the thing it is — a place, or a value — so the same place equals the same place, an equal inventory equals an equal inventory, and a place is no value until someone asks. Resolving in order to compare had three consequences:
==could raise a parser error out of an unreadable file, so a spool could not be put in a list or rendered by pytest;+parsed and validated both operands to decide whether they agreed, so a union could fail on a metadata file before any data was touched; and the answer depended on whether something had happened to read one first, which is the thing spool equality documents itself as not doing.The cost, taken deliberately: combining two archives which each carry their own inventory raises, since the union has two and neither describes the whole. The message says how to mean one of them.
Two properties which fall out, and are the point
InvalidInventoryErrorsurfacing from insideselectis baffling unless it names the file and says the spool picked it up on opening.Serving the second, a document which does not parse is now an invalid inventory rather than whatever the parser happened to raise, wherever it is read from: a parse failure, an undecodable byte, and a field which is not named (
1: 2is legal YAML) all arrive asInvalidInventoryError. A.jsoninventory also loads where PyYAML is not installed, which the blessed name accepted and could not previously honour.Review
Six reviewers, in parallel and blind to each other: five subagents by lens and Codex as the non-Claude perspective, then a Codex verification pass over the fixes.
Three legs independently found that every "malformed" fixture in the first pass used YAML which parses, so parser errors escaped untested; two found that comparison did file I/O, and the correctness leg sharpened it to
bad in [good]raising. Two found thattest_the_scanner_ignores_itcould not fail — the test-vacuity leg proved it by flippingskip_hiddentoFalseand watching all 47 tests still pass, because the.yamlit planted was no format the scanner would have indexed either way.The test-vacuity leg ran single-clause mutations with a no-op control and a known-real control, so its harness was shown to discriminate before its findings were trusted. Ten mutations the suite used to survive now fail it, including the provenance wrapper deleted entirely (the loader's own error already carried the filename), the blessed flag ignored when two attachments are compared,
OSErrordropped from the read, and grouping the scanner test could not see.The verification pass then found the parse-error fix half-applied: it covered the three suffixes the authoring format knows, while
attach_inventorytakes a path of any name. The rule now lives where every route passes through.Declined, with reasons: comparing two references by resolving them when their paths differ, which is where this started; and sharing the seven-line
write_inventorytest helper across two test trees, which would couple them to import it.Changelog
